Pero la tragedia golpe\u00f3 a la familia cuando en el invierno de 1941, el padre de Henry falleci\u00f3 a manos de un conductor borracho. Henry ayud\u00f3 a su madre a mantener a la familia unida: \u201cTen\u00eda tres hermanos en el ej\u00e9rcito durante la segunda guerra mundial. Yo era el mayor de los varones que a\u00fan viv\u00edan en la casa, en ese entonces ten\u00eda diecis\u00e9is a\u00f1os. Mi madre tuvo que salir a trabajar para mantener a la familia porque mi padre hab\u00eda fallecido en 1941. Era dif\u00edcil para ella porque trabajaba en una compa\u00f1\u00eda de productos agr\u00edcolas y yo ve\u00eda que cuando regresaba a la casa le sangraban las manos de tanto trabajar. Por eso pens\u00e9 \u201ctengo que salir a trabajar\u201d. As\u00ed que fui al arsenal de Rock Island\u201d.<br \/>\nComo joven latino, Henry enfrent\u00f3 discriminaci\u00f3n constante. \u201cLa polic\u00eda nos corr\u00eda de la calle,\u201d recuerda Henry. \u201cA veces estaba caminando a casa en la noche y me deten\u00edan y dec\u00edan \u2018\u00bfD\u00f3nde vives?\u2019 Yo les dec\u00eda \u2018Aqu\u00ed en Cook\u2019s Point\u2019. [Ellos dec\u00edan] \u2018Vete a tu casa, es mejor que te vayas a tu casa\u2019. Esa actitud nunca la pas\u00e9 por alto, de alguna forma siempre nos estaban atormentando\u201d.<br \/>\nDespu\u00e9s de la guerra, Henry dej\u00f3 su trabajo en el arsenal para trabajar en la f\u00e1brica John Deere en Moline, Illinois. Se uni\u00f3 a la uni\u00f3n (tambi\u00e9n conocido como sindicato) de ensambladores de maquinaria agr\u00edcola, FE Local 150 e hizo un curso intensivo en activismo pol\u00edtico y procedimiento parlamentario. Esa educaci\u00f3n fue esencial para \u00e9l en 1952, cuando la ciudad de Davenport desaloj\u00f3 a los residentes de Cook\u2019s Point para darle cabida a un complejo industrial. El desalojo hizo que los residentes de Cook\u2019s Point se pusieran en contacto con estudiantes activistas, miembros de la facultad de St. Ambrose College y con dos l\u00edderes afroamericanos del movimiento por los derechos civiles, Charles y Ann Toney. Juntos, trabajaron para cambiar las desigualdades que enfrentaban d\u00eda a d\u00eda. \u201cVimos lo que la organizaci\u00f3n NAACP pod\u00eda hacer\u201d, recuerda Henry \u201cy luchamos para encontrar una organizaci\u00f3n nacional que pudiera representarnos\u201d.<\/p><div id=\"holaa-2003909848\" class=\"holaa-ad-inside-articles-2 holaa-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/lead-exposure\/lead-exposure-in-children\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Web Ad July #1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-2048x512.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-696x174.jpg 696w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-1068x267.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Web-Ad-July-1-1920x480.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" width=\"600\" height=\"640\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><br style=\"clear: both; display: block; float: none;\"\/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4785\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4785\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4785\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"Henry Vargas with Cesar Chavez when Chavez received the Pacem in Terris award for Peace and Freedom the year before his death, Davenport 1992.\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-520x370.jpg 520w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3-740x527.jpg 740w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/HENRY-VARGAS-3.jpg 1055w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry Vargas con\u00a0Cesar Chavez en\u00a0Davenport 1992.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>En 1959, Henry ayud\u00f3 a establecer justamente tal organizaci\u00f3n: la sucursal en Davenport de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), tambi\u00e9n conocida como LULAC Concilio 10. Luego de ser elegido como el primer presidente del LULAC Concilio 10, Henry represent\u00f3 a LULAC en la primera comisi\u00f3n de relaciones humanas de la ciudad de Davenport en 1962 y colabor\u00f3 para lograr la aprobaci\u00f3n de la Primera Ordenanza de Vivienda Justa en 1968. Ese mismo a\u00f1o, Henry junto con otros miembros del Concilio 10, formaron el comit\u00e9 de boicot de uvas de Quad City, el cual fue clave para traer a los Quad Cities el boicot nacional de las uvas californianas, liderado por Cesar Ch\u00e1vez y Dolores Huerta. Con su hija Rita Vargas, Henry protestaba constantemente frente a los supermercados locales, apoyando al boicot de las uvas; estas acciones le causaron conflictos con la polic\u00eda local.<br \/>\n\u201cEl [polic\u00eda] dec\u00eda \u2018Tienes que salir de aqu\u00ed, no puedes protestar frente a este lugar\u2019. Y yo le dije \u2018No nos vamos a mover de este estacionamiento\u2019. Entonces como se\u00eds carros de polic\u00eda vinieron a buscarnos a los dos y la polic\u00eda nos dijo, \u2018Si quieren protestar, van a tener que hacerlo all\u00e1 por la autopista. No pueden protestar en el estacionamiento\u2019. A eso lo llamaron boicot secundario, porque estaba afectando a los otros negocios all\u00ed. As\u00ed que dijo, \u2018es eso, o van a la c\u00e1rcel\u2019. Bueno, vi al muchacho [con quien estaba protestando] y le dije, \u2018No quiero que te echen a la c\u00e1rcel. Hace mucho calor, por un lado y por otro, \u00bfqu\u00e9 le voy a decir a tus padres?\u2019.<br \/>\nAl mismo tiempo, Concilio 10 se reuni\u00f3 con otras sucursales de LULAC en Iowa y con agencias de atenci\u00f3n al inmigrante para asegurar la aprobaci\u00f3n de la Primera Ley Laboral para los Trabajadores Inmigrantes de Iowa. Cuando los miembros del LULAC Concilio 10 visitaron los hogares de los trabajadores inmigrantes en Muscatine, quedaron consternados por las condiciones en las que viv\u00edan los trabajadores, pues les hac\u00eda recordar sus propias experiencias durante la ni\u00f1ez en Cook\u2019s Point. \u201cEra deplorable\u201d, dice Henry. \u201c\u00a1Lo \u00fanico que quer\u00edamos hacer era darles vivienda decente!\u201d. Ellos [los granjeros] los tra\u00edan y los met\u00edan en corrales de pollos y dem\u00e1s. Algunos de nosotros hab\u00edamos vivido en Cook\u2019s Point. Por eso pens\u00e1bamos que eso no era justo. Pens\u00e1bamos que ten\u00edamos que hacer algo al respecto\u201d.<br \/>\nAl contemplar su vida de lucha social, Henry reflexiona con las palabras de Eleanor Roosevelt \u201cEs mejor prender una vela que maldecir a la oscuridad&#8230; no se puede vivir en la oscuridad\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4790\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-520x691.jpg 520w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_-740x983.jpg 740w, https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/>El se\u00f1or Henry Vargas es el primero en esta serie de 3 art\u00edculos que Hola Iowa y Hola America tendr\u00e1n el mes de julio en honor a los 3 miembros fundadores que a\u00fan viven de LULAC en Davenport, IA en el a\u00f1o 1959.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Los art\u00edculos son cortes\u00eda de la nueva pagina de Internet llamada \u201cMigration is Beautiful\u201d (La Migraci\u00f3n es Bella).
